For both a taste of award-winning single malt Scotch and a severe view of Black Cuillin - the main ridge of the Cuillin mountains, shiny black from the igneous rock comprising it - a visit to Talisker is in order.

The tours of the distillery can last up to two hours, so expect to learn about the process (some of these whiskies sit for 34 years) and the location (such as how the salty air affects the distilling process).

Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, whales and eagles in and over Loch Harport.
